Chapter 710 Candlelight Bright as Day, the尊 of Heaven (W-Character Large Chapter)

October 27, 2021, 7 PM Earth time.

New Xiang, Lunar City, Core Control Center of the Nuclear Fusion Energy Furnace.

[Permissions Matched, Granted Access]

A calm and emotionless electronic synthesized voice sounded. An Yunqing exhaled and passed through a series of inspection procedures, arriving at the control center.

New Xiang's nuclear reactor core was located in a natural crater on the northern side of the lunar city, protected by a semi-intelligent program-controlled fire system. The surrounding area was densely packed with various landmines, traps, curses, miniature electromagnetic sniper cannons, and over a dozen detection and divination spells. The control center at the very core of the reactor was sealed in an area 1,700 meters underground by over four meters of extraordinary alloy, its construction cost exceeding that of half a space fleet.

The ultra-large nuclear power furnace, catalyzed by a confined quasi-Golden Crow demon core, was an experimental creation used to test whether humans could artificially create the power of a 'Terrestrial Immortal'-level Golden Crow demon god. The result was pleasing: 'possible'. The only difficulty was that at this stage, the artificially created Golden Crow demon god core, namely the nuclear fusion reactor core enclosed by the magnetic confinement field, was too easily susceptible to spiritual demonization. Therefore, it could not be placed on the spiritually active Earth; only the deep underground of space stars, coupled with numerous spirit-banishing talismans, could guarantee one hundred percent stability.

The success of this experiment directly accelerated the construction progress of the lunar base. It was hard to imagine how fast the exploration could be without energy limitations.

In short, a space city capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people stood on the lunar surface in one year.

The automatic central door slid open before An Yunqing, and what rushed towards him was a dazzling golden light and rich solar spiritual radiance. This was the radiance from the nuclear fusion reactor core. It was so vast that even physical matter could not hide its spiritual energy resonance phenomenon.

The man had seen this scene countless times, so he was not surprised by the thick spiritual energy. He calmly took out a sealed card, then took out a machine from it, and debugged it with the fastest and most orderly speed and action.

He was very calm.

The Nihility Order's protective artifact, 'Kong Jie' (Emptiness Calamity), could stifle his presence. If coordinated with his permissions, it could even briefly interrupt the power of the nuclear reactor core's spirit-banishing talismans, allowing the fully powered reactor core to awaken spirits and transform into a nascent Golden Crow.

Not the reactor core itself: What permissions would an engineer have to control that kind of thing?

Without the permission of the chief engineer, the lunar city负责人 (fùzé rén - person in charge), and even several Holy Seats, no one could control or change even a single bit of the energy reactor core.

But An Yunqing knew that if the protection against the energy reactor core was 100, then the protection strength against the extra added modules like spirit-banishing talismans was at most 60.

Not low, even very high. This so-called sixty, placed on Earth, would exceed the protection system of most energy systems used in cities, but this just happened to not be able to stop An Yunqing's next plan.

At the center of the hexagonal prism, the crimson spirit marrow began to release light. This spirit machine had no special effect; it could only temporarily disable all other spirit machine magic arrays under a certain threshold with the power of nothingness.

Facing the nuclear reactor core, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to affect it in the slightest. But the dense, non-integrated spirit-banishing talismans were still within the scope of its influence.

Next, as long as he activated it, then soon, the 'artificial Golden Crow' that was 'imprisoned' would, because of the vast spiritual power, extract the 'Dao rhyme' engraved in the world by the Golden Crow clan throughout the ages from the essence of spiritual energy, giving birth to intelligence and 'transforming' out!

This was the so-called power of the 'ancestor'—if it was said that a Celestial Venerable only engraved their own path, then upon reaching the realm of Grand Celestial Venerable and Heavenly Emperor, they could also incorporate their own species into the realm of 'immortality'.

The so-called 'transformation' was precisely that even when a species was extinct, it could rely on the bones and legends of the past, and even the environment similar to the ancestral land, to forcibly nurture the newborn of the clan and reopen its continuation!

The Great Dao extends endlessly, never to be cut off.

But all of this had nothing to do with An Yunqing.

The man knew that as long as he pressed it down, the nuclear fusion reactor core in front of him would lose control on the spot, transform into a Golden Crow, and he would undoubtedly die, along with some people around him.

So he hesitated.

But not because of himself.

Now, everyone was in the lunar city listening to the Holy Seat's teachings, and there were basically no other people nearby, at most only some routine maintenance personnel.

Whether he lived or died was naturally irrelevant, but if those people were there, it would be equivalent to many families losing their husbands, fathers, sons; or possibly wives, mothers, daughters.

The empathetic pain and nothingness, compared to death, made him hesitate for a moment.

But he ultimately chose to press it down.

It was like someone who had completely despaired of reality, killing a character in a game, without the slightest ripple in their heart.

Even if the character in the game was good to him, cared about his life, he would only hesitate, and then be stabbed even more painfully by this feedback, becoming even more desperate.

The pain did not affect the action in his hand. An Yunqing closed his eyes. He had already exerted force.

And expected afterwards, without the slightest despair or regret, a silent and incomparable nothingness.

However, at this moment, a hand gently covered his hand, preventing it from moving even a bit.

"What?!"

In the first instant, An Yunqing felt his hair stand on end. He had just confirmed several times that he was definitely alone when he came to the control center, so why did a hand suddenly appear now?!

And an even more shocking thing happened to An Yunqing.

Behind him, a figure walked out. His left hand pressed on An Yunqing's hand, preventing the other from moving even a bit, and then raised his right hand, pointing remotely at the entire nuclear power center of New Xiang.

Ripples overflowed, surging, vast, like a planet falling, far surpassing the entire nuclear fusion reactor core operating at full power by more than ten times the thick spiritual power surged out silently, and then like an indestructible solid wall, firmly sealed around the reactor core.

Boom!

A faint hum could be heard. An Yunqing stared at this scene in astonishment. He could see the magnificent and vast spiritual energy whistling and vibrating, like the waves rising on the surface of the sun.

After that, everything was silent.

The entire New Xiang nuclear fusion reactor core was completely solidified and locked down by someone with great supernatural powers. With this, let alone using 'Kong Jie' to suppress the spirit-banishing talismans to make it awaken spirits and transform into a demon, even if a Celestial Immortal came and poured in Emperor Fluid, it would be of no use.

This was 'suppression'.

In just a few seconds, a giant nuclear fusion power unit comparable to a Terrestrial Immortal demon god was suppressed by someone with a gentle method.

Now, how could An Yunqing, who was incomparably shocked, not know what the situation was now?

On the entire moon, or even the entire Earth, the only person who could do this so lightly was that one.

Su Zhou released the hand suppressing An Yunqing. After holding the entire reactor core in his palm, he turned his head with interest and looked at the middle-aged engineer beside him who was exuding an aura of nothingness.

At the same time, An Yunqing raised his head and stared at the other party's young, handsome, and perfect face.

The other party was powerful, had a happy family, a happy life, and a promising future... No, he had already reached the upper limit of human society. It shouldn't be human civilization evaluating him, but him evaluating human civilization.

In his eyes, it should be the entire Earth civilization that was 'promising'.

Such a brilliant and dazzling person even made An Yunqing feel like his eyes were being burned, but he still looked at the other party, his gaze unwavering.

"You have obtained the protection of nothingness, which can shield your presence."

The young man said, "You originally had the permissions and also had an excuse to come here."

"In theory, no one can discover you, not even a Celestial Immortal, after all, the power of nothingness comes from the protection of a great existence, even if it is a distorted眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member), it can still receive favor."

"..."

At this moment, An Yunqing was indeed strange about this—he theoretically shouldn't be discovered, which was why he dared to do this when the Holy Seats were gathered.

It would be better to say that he wanted to create chaos when many foreign ambassadors and Holy Seats were gathered.

In this way, because of this crisis, Earth civilization would shrink its strength, ensure its own safety, and then pay attention to the actions of the Nihility Order... and he could obtain eternal rest under the protection of nothingness.

An Yunqing was puzzled.

"The answer is very simple."

Under the astonished gaze of the middle-aged engineer, Su Zhou's aura began to transform, turning into an aura like twilight.

In the other party's ghostly gaze, he transformed into a being more like a Twilight 眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member) than a Twilight 眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member).

The young man calmly said, "Because I also have this protection."

"Because I understand Twilight better than nothingness."

"An Yunqing, senior high-level engineer, Tiangong (Heavenly Craftsman) Department, forty-three years old, cultivation at the extraordinary middle stage, usually performs excellently, can be promoted immediately after the establishment of New Xiang, becoming the deputy minister of the Energy Department in charge of one district... You have a great future, how could you fall into Twilight?"

Asking this, Su Zhou did not wait for the other party to answer. A gleam of spiritual light lit up in his eyes, and the Mind of No Thought listened to the memories, thoughts, and countless scattered fragments that surged from the depths of the other party's soul.

So, the young man exhaled and solemnly muttered to himself, "...Because you have completely despaired... Indeed, that's right."

"You have lost everything, what is the meaning of the future? So that's it, just like the Burning Wood of Aean World, even if the future can return, what is the meaning? In the end, everything cannot return to its original appearance..."

Su Zhou met An Yunqing's gaze. An Yunqing's pupils were still deathly silent. Apart from the initial shock, the man who had recovered was no longer concerned about the outcome.

The Nihility Order's mission was not important at all, and whether or not it was successfully destroyed was meaningless. He just wanted to die, die completely and happily. Now it seemed that being given death by Su Zhou was perhaps simpler and more complete than being killed by the agitation of the nuclear fusion reactor core.

But he didn't see any killing intent in Su Zhou's eyes.

An Yunqing even saw sadness.

Obviously, without the slightest concealment, direct and straightforward sadness.

"So that's it."

He heard the young man murmuring to himself: "In this world, not everyone will become better because of the spiritual energy recovery."

"Yes, how could I ignore it? Those who were sacrificed by the Holy Serpent Spirit 連禱會 (liándǎo huì - Prayer Meeting), those who were killed by the Descending Spirit Society and various extraordinary illnesses, super-powered criminals, major mysterious organizations, and spiritual energy disasters... there are really too many, how can they be ignored?"

"Spiritual energy recovery, this miraculous era, has indeed brought countless changes and opportunities, but at the same time, there are still some people, quite a few people, who have to suffer hardship and endure sadness in the laughter of others."

An Yunqing didn't react for a moment.

But soon, he became angry.

"What do you understand?"

The man began to struggle, wanting to break free from the restrictions that Su Zhou had imposed on him before. This was undoubtedly a very painful thing. Forcibly breaking free from the restrictions was like exercising vigorously in a mud pit composed of ice slag, but An Yunqing still tried his best.

He gritted his teeth and roared: "How can you, a fulfilled person... understand?!"

Su Zhou did not stop the other party's struggle.

He just raised his head and looked at An Yunqing again.

"So, you are desperate."

The young man who had witnessed the life of the 'Zheng Tian Ying Long' (Conquering Heaven Responding Dragon), calmly said, "You yearn to return to nothingness, to end this pain that I am afraid that even death cannot end."

Saying this, Su Zhou shook his head: "No, no, you don't want to."

"You won't be content to wait—you feel that you are rotting in your current life, unable to escape the quagmire no matter what you do, you know that your ending is nothingness, a lifetime of struggle is meaningless, but you are not willing to just do this."

"Therefore, you will be bewitched by the Nihility Order, become a 眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member) of Twilight, struggling and trying to do something."

That's how it is.

The Nihility Order, in essence, is a group of people who despairingly fall into nothingness, but are still unwilling to just wait, wanting to grasp something.

When a drowning person struggles, they will grab other people who want to rescue them, or even just approach them, and drag them into the water together. They are like this, seemingly wanting to do something, but in the end, they are just spreading this nothingness.

Su Zhou raised his hand.

In that instant, An Yunqing thought he was going to die.

But he didn't. Su Zhou even lifted the restrictions he had previously imposed on An Yunqing.

Then, the young man stepped forward and forcefully embraced the decadent man in front of him, whose eyes were filled with deep despair in addition to nothingness.

He hugged the other party tightly and patted him on the back.

"You haven't had time to make a mistake. I can sense that this is your first mission—seeking the path of nothingness and destruction. You haven't had time to go astray."

The hug was strong, but not forceful. It wasn't perfunctory, but a true hug, expressing the most primitive and sincere empathy of humanity.

While the embraced An Yunqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he could still hear Su Zhou's voice, gentle and polite, without any coercion.

"You are very sad."

He heard the other party say this, "You are very angry and desperate."

"Because all your meaning has been lost, just like no matter how bright the universe is, the light cannot be dazzling."

"Not being able to prevent this incident, and even guiding you afterwards, to lead you out of the haze, is the dereliction of duty of me, all the Holy Seats, and even the entire Zheng (Central) Country official, it is our mistake."

"...No..."

At this moment, An Yunqing couldn't say anything angry or desperate anymore.

Breaking free from Su Zhou's embrace, he staggered back, but could only mutter to himself: "It's already very good, it's already done very well... A building with hundreds of people, a sudden fire without warning, or even Qilin (Kirin) Spirit Fire, how could I not know that only thirteen people died is already the greatest fortune in misfortune, the result of so many special operations team members risking their lives to rescue?"

"It's my problem... It's that I can't get out of that night..."

"Clearly, as long as I went home earlier, clearly as long as I remembered to make a phone call at night... Clearly, as long as I didn't work overtime so late..."

"Even dying together would be fine... I'm really too painful, I can't forget that blackened building, I can't even find their last ashes, there's nothing in the tomb, what am I supposed to do? Why did they have to encounter all this, why am I still alive..."

He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: "I... hate myself so weak and lowly, the more I hate, the more I can hear that voice of nothingness, and the more I can't break free!"

At this moment, the man was extremely embarrassed, and could not be more desperate and茫然 (mángrán - at a loss).

But a hand still stretched out, reaching out to him.

"You made a mistake, but didn't cause any harm."

The owner of the hand spoke powerfully, even just plainly stating it was like expounding the truth: "You will be judged, but not utterly."

"An Yunqing, try to think about some better, more hopeful things... Why can't we try to do some things, for example... resurrect them?"

These words were too bizarre, even An Yunqing, who was close to collapse, seemed to have heard some inexplicable, extremely funny joke, and raised his head with an incomprehensible expression.

What he saw was Su Zhou's face, serious and solemn, without the slightest hint of joking.

So An Yunqing did not laugh at this naivety and妄想 (wàngxiǎng - delusion), but just murmured: "That was at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery, there was no electronic underworld, how can we resurrect them?"

"The souls have already dissipated, and the true spirits are probably already reincarnated..."

"Resurrection, how can we resurrect them? Minister Su... ah, perhaps it's Holy Seat Su, this is impossible, please don't use this delusion to laugh at me, let me die quickly..."

He lowered his head, already unable to say anything more. Clearly wanting to clench his fists, he felt that even the arms supporting his body were soft and weak, as if the bones had been removed.

But Su Zhou did not intend to end it.

"But why not try?"

He took a step forward and stretched out his hand again: "This多元宇宙 (duōyuán yǔzhòu - multiverse) is infinitely vast, infinitely possible, and has infinite ways to complete the wishes you want to complete."

"Even you, if you persevere, you may not be able to obtain 'miracles'."

At the same time, he unceremoniously asked the snake spirit: "Yala, in this多元宇宙 (duōyuán yǔzhòu - multiverse), is there a method of resurrection that meets his conditions?"

The crimson snake spirit appeared on the young man's shoulder, wrapped around his arm, and scornfully laughed as He shook His head: "Of course there is, there are too many."

"Can he do it?"

"Tch..." Hearing Su Zhou's question, Yala really couldn't hold back his laughter.

He stared at the man in front of him, not despising, but also not sympathizing, just directly stating his evaluation: "I can only say that it is difficult for someone who is so easily bewitched by the Nihility Order and loses his own nature to pass the test on that long journey."

"But, it is not 'absolutely impossible'."

"Huh?"

Su Zhou could of course hear Yala's disapproval.

He thought the other party would say something like 'absolutely impossible' to打击 (dǎjí - strike/hit) An Yunqing.

But he didn't expect the other party to actually affirm this slight possibility.

Even An Yunqing raised his head, staring blankly at Su Zhou and Yala.

He didn't know who Yala was, or what relationship Su Zhou had with the other party, but the meaning revealed in the other party's words made him confused.

Yala was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Su Zhou, remember."

"Perhaps many people think that 'existence and continuation' are the biggest enemies of nothingness, but in reality, it is not so. They just often have disputes and fight, and that's all."

"Nothingness, the biggest enemy, is 'miracle'."

Saying this, the crimson snake spirit raised His head, as if looking at an infinitely high place, and calmly stated: "Back then, it was that [King of Miracles] who led the crowd to push Twilight into the seal, and announced the creation of the great seal."

"The reason for nothingness? The cause and effect of despair? The sadness that makes the soul sink? All the 'results' of nothingness are not irreversible, everything has a glimmer of hope, a chance to reverse and change... This is precisely the power that nothingness fears most, and also desires most."

Su Zhou turned to look at An Yunqing, who was suddenly wide-eyed and incredibly eager, and nodded: "Indeed."

"Then, you have heard it too, An Yunqing."

He stretched out his hand for the third time: "You are not without a chance."

"If you pursue [Miracle], perhaps there is still a chance to change everything."

"Ha." Yala laughed dryly: "I'm not trying to打击 (dǎjí - strike/hit) him, but Su Zhou, and you, a mud-like 眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member) of nothingness, you must all understand that the hardship of the path of miracle far surpasses the inheritance path of all other great existences, it may be the most difficult path of all great existences to fulfill."

"You can have miracles, and so do your enemies, since this is the case, just like facing the correct with the correct, how can there be no '爭紛 (zhēngfēn - dispute)'? He also has the second name [Lord of Myriad Hosts]."

"Walking on this road is an eternal battle and challenge, always challenging the 'impossible'!"

"But it's not 'absolutely impossible'."

Su Zhou softly replied, he sensed that the man who was slumped on the ground like mud was now trembling and extending his own hand, holding his hand.

Since that was the case, he exerted force and pulled him up.

Pulled him out of the quagmire.

Just reaching out is not enough, the other party also needs to reach out, and all innovation can have a starting point, and blessings can have their foundation.

Facing An Yunqing, who had already stood up, Su Zhou withdrew his hand and said seriously: "Humans now have reached the point where they can 'live' if they 'don't want to die'."

"Your future will have a long period of time to spend in prison."

"But An Yunqing, you will live, and you can live, because you haven't had time to make a mistake—since that's the case, you can try to pursue 'miracles' afterwards, try to use your执念 (zhíniàn - obsession/fixation) and long life to obtain power, to 'resurrect' those important people."

"I won't help you, because this is your own business, but humans, human society, the development brought about by the human collective, this brand-new world after the spiritual energy recovery, will lead you on a stronger path—a path that will make you stronger and easier to pursue your dreams."

Su Zhou said so, and An Yunqing listened.

He was almost魂不守舍 (hún bù shǒu shè - out of one's mind), his eyes raised, meeting the young man's gaze.

"Can I do it?"

He asked tremblingly. The man wanted to cry loudly, but even that strength had disappeared, so he could only ask: "Really, is it possible?"

"I can't do anything, I can't save anyone, I'm just a useless person..."

Su Zhou stared at him.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

The figure belonging to Ming Zhengde.

In the beginning of the three myriad worlds, that Five Virtues Holy Emperor was also scolding himself for being useless, incompetent, and mediocre.

All are facts, in the first life, anyone would be the same, Su Zhou estimated that he would not be much stronger himself.

But it did not affect his final achievements.

Anyone at some point may feel that they are a useless person, this may be a fact, but one cannot be trapped in this fact.

"You are An Yunqing, a senior advanced engineer belonging to the Zheng (Central) Country Lunar Engineering Department, your technical abilities are at the forefront of the country." So, Su Zhou said: "You are indeed a useless person in terms of mentality, but not in terms of ability."

"You are indeed weak and pitiful, but also powerful and strong."

"Learn to objectively look at yourself, and then step forward, to make yourself better."

Then, Su Zhou turned his head: "I'm going back to participate in the ceremony of becoming a Holy Seat, An Yunqing, think about it carefully yourself, and then go and confess to receive punishment."

"Also, you should think about what you really want, and then decide whether you want to continue to invest in nothingness and fall into despair."

Su Zhou left.

An Yunqing stayed alone in the control center, he was stunned for a long time.

At first, he was茫然 (mángrán - at a loss), confused, painful, with countless emotional reactions in his heart.

He was still desperate, regretful, unwilling, with millions of辛酸 (xīnsuān - bitter/grievous) emotions like knives, piercing his internal organs.

But, for some reason, these feelings, these regrets, these emotions that trapped him in place, became vivid.

He could feel the pain, the shame, self-reproach, and his own baseness; he could also know how selfish, pathetic, and self-righteous his thoughts were.

Explosive emotions lingered in his heart, making him want to smash his head against the wall on the spot.

So, he was no longer nothingness.

"I..."

In the end, he took a step forward, towards the door of the control center.

He stepped out.

It was like stepping out of the black smoke of the fire that raged seven years ago.

Then, there was the second step, and the third step.

When An Yunqing came outside the crater where the nuclear fusion reactor core was located, he happened to see above the distant lunar city, a huge projection of a young man was facing the entire city, and even the entire Earth, all the宇宙 (yǔzhòu - universe) civilizations watching this scene, expounding his thoughts.

[...Therefore, I think.]

He said so, his expression solemn, as solemn as a god expounding the Dao: [The most important thing for a civilization is to pay attention to the most ordinary, most inconspicuous people.]

[The progress of technology, the evolution and growth of extraordinary power, can define the strength of a civilization, but it does not mean the sublimation of a civilization.]

[Just like in many barbarous worlds, there are strong people who are not inferior to me. They rule the world, compare themselves to gods, enslave thousands of groups, and wantonly kill for pleasure—this civilization may be stronger than your and my civilization, but it is barbaric and not noble.]

[How to treat the most ordinary, most inconspicuous member of a civilization is the most important thing for 'civilization' itself.]

[In the era of spiritual energy recovery, many people die from the various accidents caused by the spiritual energy recovery. Their deaths, each and every one, are extremely important and cannot be ignored. The development of Earth should pay more attention to this aspect, because the attitude of 'how to treat a person' is precisely the evidence that defines whether the essence of our civilization is base or not.]

Saying this, the huge projection of the young man raised his hand.

He pointed to Earth.

At this moment, Su Zhou sensed bursts of echoes.

That was the echo of the entire Earth, all countries, all civilizations, all 'people'.

Celestial Venerable, Celestial Venerable, the Dao of the Celestial Venerable, is with civilization, and even the universe.

His achievements are the achievements of mankind, his path is the path of mankind.

In every corner of the多元宇宙 (duōyuán yǔzhòu - multiverse), there are descendants of humanity. This is because in the distant past, there was a human族 (zú - race/tribe) powerhouse who engraved his Dao on the foundation of the多元宇宙 (duōyuán yǔzhòu - multiverse), and they, the Earth Human Race, perhaps, or even certainly, are the result of this Dao.

A sound civilization can nurture powerful powerhouses. Even Su Zhou, if not for the Zheng (Central) Country's perfect moral education, the cultivation of his parents, and the teachings of his teachers, how could he have become who he is now?

Therefore, leading civilization to become stronger is the meaning of the strong.

The strong should lead civilization forward.

"Is that so?"

In the soul space, Yala whispered at this time. As always, He questioned: "Is it really like this, Su Zhou?"

"That's indeed what I think, Yala."

Su Zhou replied to Him, replied to his mentor, and the great existence who made a contract with him: "You will refute me, and I will agree with your rebuttal, but I will still go this way."

The snake spirit chuckled: "Yes, I can agree with your thoughts, but I must refute them."

"And you should bear the consequences of your choices, and firmly establish your own path in this tide of 'chaos'..."

"This heart that bears everything and faces everything is also 'correct'."

At this moment, Su Zhou closed his eyes on the grand stage, facing the Holy Seats watching him, the ambassadors of many alien civilizations, and among them, the '眷属 (juànshǔ - dependent/family member)' of many great existences.

With the power of愿力 (yuànlì - power of vows), Su Zhou traveled through the world in an instant, and saw all of humanity.

The Beast God Realm, Qingqiu Star, Nine Profound Realm.

Shao Qiming, Chen Zhicheng, Tang Yuan and Leng Xiaxia, Jin Qiong and Bai Yingxue.

Parents and family, relatives and friends, Shao Shuangyue and Jiu Ming, who had become pioneer explorers, countless acquaintances and friends.

They were all very well, very good, happy and joyful, and had their own lives.

This was already the foundation of happiness.

Even Su Zhou saw a little boy that he had once taught in Central Asia.

That boy had mustered up the courage to ask Su Zhou, who was exterminating dictators in various places at that time, why he 'didn't kill' that dictator, but pulled him to 'trial'.

He was pursuing the reason behind Su Zhou's actions, the reason called correctness.

And now, he had grown up.

The former boy had become a powerful young man. He was working, building, and cultivating in the village, leading the village to connect to electricity, using air conditioning and refrigerators, and starting to cultivate and reclaim wasteland on the seemingly barren land.

Because of Su Zhou, he began to believe.

Believing that good and evil are rewarded, believing that good people are rewarded, and believing that justice and correctness do exist in the world, so he began to work hard to pursue them.

There are such children, existing.

So, Su Zhou understood that he was indeed making this world better—even making this universe better.

The entire Earth was verifying all of this, giving Su Zhou's actions a guiding star.

Therefore, he was able to 'make all things remember'.

[Life oppressing life is the source of all suffering]

[So building a world where no one oppresses anyone, a world where every life is equally important, is the path that all living beings should take]

[The path that I believe is correct]

At this moment, Su Zhou moved.

That hand pointing to Earth stretched out a forefinger.

Then, it began to 'engrave'.

In the light that suddenly lit up, in the spiritual energy wind that suddenly set off, when layers of ripples began to泛起 (fànqǐ - rise up) on the entire surface of the moon, in the shocked gaze of everyone.

Above the Earth, whether facing the direction of the moon or not, all human beings could perceive that something vast, magnificent, solemn and sacred had left its own痕迹 (hénjì - trace/mark) in the 'high heavens'.

The young man smiled and began to engrave the first 'character' in the void.

[烛 (zhú - candle)]

烛 (zhú - candle) is light.

Igniting oneself and illuminating all living beings.

Pioneering a path with light in the chaotic future, so that latecomers can become better, this is the mission of '烛 (zhú - candle)' and the wishes of all sages of the past.

This is his Dao, all power and battles are to light up such a path.

Then, it was [昼 (zhòu - daytime)].

昼 (zhòu - daytime) is bright.

The rising and setting of the sun, the boundary with night.

Not the ambiguous twilight and dawn, daytime brings endless light and vitality, illuminating all things, this is the meaning of '昼 (zhòu - daytime)', implying the final picture.

This is his purpose, all struggles and advances are for such a future.

[Candle illuminates the mortal world, to reform the three realms]

[Shines on all the heavens, returning daytime to the world]

Such is the path.

Su Zhou was engraving, he was only moving his fingers slightly, but he was causing the spiritual energy of the entire moon and even the Earth-Moon system to震荡 (zhèndàng - vibrate/shake).

The spiritual light in the sky flowed, curled, rose and backflowed with the undulation and curvature of his fingers. The speed was so卓 (zhuó - eminent) that it seemed to engrave substantive痕迹 (hénjì - trace/mark) in the entire cosmic sky, like the碑文 (bēiwén - inscription) of the大道 (dàdào - Great Dao).

It had already been engraved.

In the vast light, Su Zhou's physical body, not only the physical body standing on this podium, but also the dead star body suspended above the orbit, also began to glow.

In this spiritual energy frenzy that seemed to sweep across the entire solar system, two bodies erupted with endless spiritual light at the same time. The endless道纹 (dàowén - Dao patterns) and脉络 (màiluò - meridians) in Su Zhou's body, the network composed of densely intertwined符文 (fúwén - runes) and灵纹 (língwén - spirit patterns), emitted clearly visible radiance and spread outward from the young man's body!

Vaguely, Shao Qiming and Bai Yingxue, who were watching this scene on the moon, seemed to see such a scene.

That was a possibility hidden in the distant spacetime gaps. On the road that had not yet happened, there was a man who镇压 (zhènyā - suppress) the entire Earth civilization who had also reached this step and achieved the same realm.

But this time, it was not [Eternal Calamity Heaven's Punishment].

But [Candle World to Illuminate Daytime].

——All living beings, all life.
